[ogb-discuss] Community Group status update

A brief update on the Community Group status task.

Going through the list:

- Appliances

No response.

- Approachability

Confirmed request for termination.

- Chinese Users

I think this has been superseded by BJOSUG.

- Databases

Some interest; need to follow up.

- Games on OpenSolaris

No response.

- HPC Developer

Community wishes to continue and has a list of candidate CCs.

o Bogdan Vasiliu, Sun
o Josh Simons, Sun
o Harshal Patil, Sun
o Gayatri Tripathi, Sun
o Debbie Walsh, Tabor Communications, Inc
o Daniel Templeton, Sun (facilitator, I think)
o Bruce Rothermal, Sun
o Tavit Varanasi, Sun

All of whom have done the acceptance dance as well.

- Observability

Some interest in survival, but not critical mass.

- OpenSolaris Printing

Community wishes to continue and has a list of candidate CCs.

jacobs (Norm.Jacobs) prior core contributor grant expired
jh118764 (Juanita Heieck) prior core contributor grant expired
venkytv (venky tv) new core contributor
paulcun (Paul Cunningham) prior core contributor grant expired

- PowerPC

Terminate; should have been replaced by the ppc-dev project already.

- Solaris Volume Manager
- Unix File Systems (UFS)

I think these are likely to become projects (under ON?).

That works nicely so whatever content is there
is preserved and remains available.

Cheers,

Thank you so much for doing this and following up, Peter!

Darren Reed and Mark Martin (Cc'd) have responded on another thread
about this; it sounds like this community should remain for now, and
will transition into some other type of collective after the cutover.
There are several not-on-os.o appliance efforts going on, and this
mailing list/webpage seems to be a watering hole for them...

And updates on the outstanding ones.

A last-minute response, although I think it clear that it's not
a CG in the constitutional sense.

Still need to follow up...

Although I have had some feedback - maybe a desktop project?

I think we're crawling to revitalization.

Only feedback I had was "why not storage?".

Well, let me add to that then. The UFS list has historically been a bit misnamed
in that it's also the place of last resort for any filesystem that doesn't have a list
of its own.

So I think that SVM might fit well under storage, but filesystems ought to be
some sort of a collective under which lists for each filesystem can live.
(for example, pcfs _really_ needs a lot of TLC, but that doesn't seem to get
much visibility)
